For me, that means filling seven small engine gas tanks up with stabilized gas and then running them 5-10 minutes to get the stabil through the carb and warm up the oil for changing. It's quite the cacophony of sound! Once done (and cooled down), everything gets pressure washed and parked in the back of the machine shed for the winter. Oh, engine number eight was my 8N—but that one stays close to the door with the backblade ready for the first good snowfall! es [Reply]   [No Email]

I simply attach the solar charger on the inside of the WEST window. Good voltages all day long. HTH. PS. Then when I go on a road trip later in the Spring thru FALL, I mount the solar panel on the inside of the rear window of my "service van". THOSE DARN BRIGHT LIGHTS in the rear view mirror always keep my 12 volt system charged. [Reply]  [No Email]

I've always left 'em in, and usually have to jump start at least one come spring. I did get a couple float chargers to leave on the 8N and AC 190, since those will get used over the winter, and are always needed worst when the temps are sub-zero. es [Reply]  [No Email]

Where on earth am I supposed to keep all these batteries where they won't freeze?!?!? Maybe I should start a post about that! :lol: [Reply]  [No Email]

I can always use one or so for the 12 volt. lighting backup in the house. Sorta romantic on those cold snowy evenings having the 12 volt lamps glowing. John,PA [Reply]  [No Email]
